Every year our Fig tree gives us a large quantity of natural fruit without any treatment, organic!!!
After picking the ripe figs, Laurence and I are ready to make the jam.
The Recipe
Ingredients for 5 pots:
Time: 1 hour the day before + 1 night of rest + approximately 45 minutes of cooking
1 kg of ripe figs
750 g sugar
1 lemon
The day before
Cut all the figs into quarters.
Put them in the copper jam cauldron.
Add sugar and lemon juice
Mix well
The day after
Place the pot on the heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Remember to stir well regularly
The secret, pour a drop into a clean, cold plate. If this drop does not spread, then your jam is ready.
You can pot it.
The great thing about figs is that there are so many variations possible. Like adding fresh rosemary, vanilla...
Enjoy your meal.
